Actin is one of the most abundant proteins in the cell. Arp2/3 complex is known as one of the most important regulators in the nucleation of actin filaments. Caenorhabditis elegans is used as a model organism to investigate the regulation and dynamics of actin networks in developmental processes. Interest of these studies are based on: the first asymmetric division of the C. elegans single-cell embryo to understand symmetry breaking, polarity establishment, microtubule assembly, spindle positioning, and the cell shape changes that accompany asymmetric cell division. After fertilization symmetry is broken leading to polarization resulting in different actomyosin activity and PAR occupancy. This review of Dureen Samandar Eweis and Julie Plastino shows the multitude of roles played by the actin cytoskeleton in the C. elegans embryo referring to its role in meiosis, interlink with Aurora-A and PAR protein, with plastin & cadherin and the formation/position of the contractile ring leading to cytokinesis.
